Just a heads up to everyone if you come across this, Kaspersky antivirus 2009 detects HFS as a virus and this is a false positive. I will be sending a message to them shortly to get this fixed! Don't get worried if you come across this :D
-
Hello!
I do not know where you've downloaded your hfs.exe, but if it is on rejetto.com, this is a false positive.
HFS is healthy.
If this is a false positive, you can send a message to Kaspersky Lab, for correct their viral base.
Edit:
I downloaded the hfs.exe on the link to your image.
I scanned with Nod32 ... it seems clean.
Certainly, a false positive ... But when in doubt, download your version on the author's site (a valid precautions for the majority of software).
-
The image you see actually was from the website. I clicked the link to download and that is what i ended up with. Im waiting for Kaspersky to fix this because it keeps deleting HFS off my computer and its blocking connections.
-
You have to give the necessary permissions for the file or link in your firewall and your anti virus.
(Kaspersky?)
-
I have already done that but Kaspersky Antivirus is very hostile and stubborn, plus i already paid my money for my key so changing is not an option :-\
-
If you have the license Kaspersky, send their one-mail to report the problem.
I don't see what to do else.
Your problem seems beyond hfs.
I am sorry for not being able to help you more. :-\
Maybe someone else to an idea? ...
-
Its ok, this was just a heads up for everyone :P Im going to purchase a server sided PC and run HFS on that instead, but now i know not to use Kaspersky :D ;)

My A/V also detects this as a virus. I Use ClamAV. I also have reported a false positive to the support team.

This message is not from ClamAV, but from Spyware Terminator.

i've always used kaspersky, and been using hfs for long time never get virus error.

use good av, such a NOD.
KAV is very stupid and officious :P He saw mIRC client as trojan...

This morning Avira (http://www.avira.com) detected a virus in the actual version an in the beta version of hfs. The original message reads:
Die Datei 'D:\_install\_Util\_www\http_Server\hfs242.exe'
enthielt einen Virus oder unerwünschtes Programm 'APPL/HTTPFileServ.1' [program].
I downloaded (all) versions of hfs from rejetto directly.
As Kaspersky found a virus as well, we have to ask the author, Massimo Melina, to remove the critical code.

Why are you wondering if you download a HTTP-Server and you Antivirus program says, that it is a HTTP-Server?
-
Maybe there is something wrong with the version on the server. And maybe some other virus on the server or on the compiling computer adds something to hfs.exe
So it is not a bad idea for Massimo Melina to check it and to tell us, if everything is o.k.
-
There is no critical code in HFS
Your antivirus tells you simply that HFS connects to Internet, that which is potentially risky.
APPL/HTTPFileServ = APPLICATION/HTTP FILE SERVER = HFS
Your message is a recurring message, as the message of some antiviruses programs. :D
Performs a search on the forum ... you'll see. ;)
eg:

http://www.rejetto.com/forum/index.php?topic=6318.0
.... ;D
EDIT:
I use Avira Premium Security Suite, which did not mention anything about HFS

Does no one check the FAQ's..

Mea culpa, I had never read this one! :-[ :D

Well, but what has changed that the HFS.exe version 2.2d #152 does not have any virus

but the beta version 2.2f #242 seems to have...

You should not just be afraid of what is written in red colour, you should also read the content of messages. ;)
Some are more explicit than others:
not-a-virus: Server-FTP.Win32.SFH
What has changed between 2 versions of HFS?
The date of publication, among others.
hfs_2.2f_242.exe does not exist ... It's you who have renamed the executable?
Otherwise the two links you have posted, show almost the same things.
You will notice that many anti virus don't report anything ... ineffectiveness or wisdom? ;)
-
Yes, I have changed the names. And you are right: The results of the anti virus scanners often seem to be exact but lack a deeper explanation.
By the way. The Author just stated in an e-mail that everything is fine and free of any virus. He complained about the bad working anti virus progs as well.
I hope the antivirus guys will learn soon to throw no wrong warnings regarding HFS and notice that this is a great http-server.

Update 09.08.2009
Avira v. 8.02.00.240 detected a "unwanted program" (category: Maleware) in the actual version 2.2f of hfs.
The original message reads:
"Maleware"
"hfs.exe wurde ein Virus oder unerwünschtes Programm 'APPL/Agent.572928' [program] gefunden"
NO VIRUS !!!
Avira Filepath contains: "\...\hfs.exe:Zone.Identifier" ???
This happens if " Search for APPL" (Applications) is activated.
And it is maybe not a false alarm because "APPL-warning" is defined as "... APPL could maybe include a risk".
" SilentPliz is right.
... Your antivirus tells you simply that HFS connects to Internet, that which is potentially risky.
APPL/HTTPFileServ = APPLICATION/HTTP FILE SERVER = HFS"
